Royal Blue

Here’s the money color of the season. Rich as its name, royal blue went shiny and dramatic for fall ‘12. Badgely Mischka, Gucci, and a score of others played with the jewel tone successfully, but it was an ultra-sophisticated baby-doll dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs that really spun our heads. Funny how much difference a change from white to shimmering blue can make.

Oh, and if you do pick up that Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, we’re advising you go with a fully royal look. Lacquer up with OPI’s “Unfor-greta-bly Blue" and grab some blue flats (or black boots, your call). Its shimmer should match the dress perfectly and turn us a sharp emerald with envy.
